Bumgenius not tight around leg

We just started using bg 3.0 on LO at 3 weeks when her umbilical cord fell off. A friend is letting us try them out before we dive in and purchase our own. But we can't seem to get them tight enough around her legs without making them very tight around her waist. She is a relatively big newborn at 10lb, but cotton babies says they should fit around 8lb. However, I read a review that said they really don't fit well until 12lb. Anyone else have this experience? I like them 110% otherwise.

I love my Bumgenius diapers, but they didn't fit my DD well without leaks until she was about 5-6 months old! She was about 13 pounds at that point. Her legs were just too skinny, so I couldn't get a tight fit with them. None of our other one-size pockets fit either. Now we have quite a few Rumparooz, which fit smaller, and I hope will fit our new baby earlier than 6 months!

My LO was 10 lb 3 oz when born and she started wearing BG 4.0 around 3 weeks. She's only like 11 something lbs now (lost a full lb after birth) so she was about 10 lb at 3 weeks. They fit her great, they are the only ones I've had no leaks with! maybe 3.0 and 4.0 fit is different? If you like them otherwise, maybe buy one new 4.0 and see how it fits??

I have 3.0 one-size pockets. I never tried them on Jack until he was about 15 pounds though. We used Kissaluvs size 0 as newborn diapers. Even now, we only use our BG 3.0 pockets as night time diapers - stuffed with one bamboo insert & one hemp. We use Fuzzi Bunz & Blueberry diapers during the day. He's 10 months & 18 pounds now.

There are 3.0 AIO and 3.0 OS ... the 3.0 OS are the older model of the 4.0. We are expecting our first in February and after having read about some problems with the OS fitting for the first few months, decided we'd start out with the AIO Newborns and then use the 4.0 OS and Elementals once LO is a little bit bigger.

I think it's possible that you aren't putting the diaper on high enough. With a baby that small, even with the diaper snapped to the smallest setting, it will come well up onto the baby's back, and will cover the baby's belly button. With the diaper up higher, you should get a better fit around the thigh.
